World Cup: Brazil vs Ivory Coast 3-1 20 June 2010

Brazil finally played like Brazil should play. The match was nice to watch to a certain point. Referee commited serious mistakes. He didn't notice that Fabiano helped himself with arm twice just before scoring his second goal. Then the brutal faults, Elano carried out on stretcher, Kaka given a red card... It almost finished with brawl!

Let's move to the goalkeepers. Boubacar Barry made 3 saves. It's hard to stop Brazil, was helpless when it come to Fabiano's and Elano's goal. Julio Cesar made 2 saves. Was without a chance to stop Dider Drogba shot.

One of the funny things is a piece of news which was repeated at sport pages I read. They were quoting Julio Cesar, who was complaining about being cold in the previous match and went to a shop to buy some warmer clothes ;) Fortunately Ivory Coast players didn't leave him without occupation so he had an opportunity to catch the ball few times.

Wonder if the match with Portugal will be a challenge for Julio Cesar. Recently Portugal seems to shot on target rarely...
